Lifetime Pastey counter
September 4, 2026
- The homepage now shows how many Pasteys have been created since Pastey launched, including ones that have since expired, burned, or been deleted
- The counter is a single running total that records no content, no owner, and no timestamps, and it is documented in the privacy model
Reliability and view-limit correctness
September 3, 2026
- View limits are now enforced atomically, so simultaneous readers can no longer exceed a Pastey's remaining view allowance
- A Pastey that reaches its view limit is now destroyed on the read that consumes the last view, instead of waiting for the next request
- Fixed intermittent server errors that could interrupt loading a Pastey, its history, or its delivery details
- Pasteys with very long lines no longer stretch the editor across the workspace navigation
- Hardened the authorization on scheduled cleanup and delivery jobs so a missing configuration value can never leave them open
Native workspace redesign
June 15, 2026
- Rebuilt the signed-in experience as a native-feeling workspace with a left sidebar, route-aware top bar, and a contextual tools rail
- Added a command palette for jumping between routes and Pastey actions, with search limited to safe owner-scoped metadata
- Made mobile a first-class surface with dedicated navigation, gesture-driven settings sheets, and touch-friendly dashboard rows
- Added dashboard pagination, owner-scoped search, language filtering, sorting, and quick link copying
- Introduced a shared motion system with directional route transitions that respect reduced-motion preferences
- App-area pages that are not found now keep the workspace shell and offer a way back instead of dropping you out of the app
- Added a confirmation step before opening a Pastey that has a limited number of views left
Direct delivery, version history, and audit trail
March 29, 2026
- Added direct email delivery so a Pastey can be sent to named recipients, with scheduling, resends, and reminders
- Recipients can acknowledge a delivery, opt out of further reminders, and report abuse from their own management link
- Added owner-only version history with revision snapshots and restore inside a bounded rollback window
- Added an account-scoped recent activity feed with bounded retention and export controls
- Expanded audit exports now require recent sign-in verification before they can be produced
- Recipient addresses are stored masked, hashed, and encrypted separately so delivery history can outlive the raw address
Privacy-first sharing and API foundations
March 28, 2026
- New Pasteys now default to unlisted sharing, with clearer private-versus-unlisted visibility controls
- Added custom expiration timestamps, view limits, and clearer self-destruct behavior for Pasteys and attached files
- Shipped privacy-preserving abuse reporting and short-lived rate limits for anonymous and token-authenticated actions
- Added signed-in automation-token management and Pastey API v1 endpoints for create, list, read, unlock, and delete workflows
- Published Pastey's privacy model, threat model, logging-retention policy, abuse-prevention policy, and API quickstart guidance

Mark Pastey as private, password reset changes

- Enhanced security for Pastey contents when creating, editing, or viewing
